Was there not a film made called GOMEZ which was produced by Kelvin Fletcher (Andy in emmerdale for you soap watchers)?

I don't think it was ever released due to finances but i'm sure the filming was completed and a trailer was on youtube/IMDB.

Finally got round to watching the docu last night and was impressed,everythings already been said so no point in repeating posts but yeah great show,its a cliche but boxing needs more active fighters like that,charasmatic without being a massive bellend

Mayweather,Broner take note

Thanks for the link.
Can anyone enlighten me on opinion at the time regarding the two Ayala fights?
The first Tapia states he had it taken away from him? Was there a case for him winning?
The second he seems genuinely incensed and the commentators surprised and reactions from his camp seemed pretty genuine, so Im more inclined to believe he deserved the decision in that fight.
So what was the general public consensus regarding the winner of these fights?
Cheers.

I thought he deserved both highly competitive fights (and well worth a view if you haven't seen)
